I know this is probably from the late 1970s, because I can tell from out Count von Count looked back in the 1970s, and the thunderclap sound effect they used

She was quite good but I personally am not that crazy about Balanchine choreography and technique, and it's unfortunate that it seems to be all that she did during the peak of her career.

O thanks for telling me!!

She does appear in the DVD "Choreography by Balanchine," where she dances "Tzigane" with Peter Martins. It's from an old "Dance in America" episode.

I wish there were more videos of her on you tube :(

You won't see any clips of Farrell dancing/rehearsing Balanchine on youtube (or if you do, the vid will be taken down immediately), due to the Balanchine estate's strict rules. However check out the documentary 'Elusive Muse' - about Farrell's life and career - for great archival footage.

Can somebody please post clips of Farrell dancing Balanchine??? or even rehearsing Balanchine. Thanks!



Does anyone remember a piece where Suzanne was doing exercises at the ballet bar with Herry and at least one other monster? When they finished, one of them asked what they were going to do next. "We break for lunch," said Suzanne, and the monsters began breaking the bar and eating it.

Oh, of course! Cookie Monster was there. Now I'm not so sure about Herry. But he could certainly break a ballet bar if he wanted to.
